Watching over children indoors and outdoors with GPS - Jiobit raises $3 million

After his own child got lost in Chicago's Millennium Park and he spent 20 minutes frantically searching for his child, Renaldi realized that most previous products were not well-packed with location information and none worked well both indoors and outdoors.

I don't know what kind of product you were using, but it's good. I was in trouble, so let's make something better! That is the fundamental motivation of a startup.

The following are listed as product features

  • Compact and lightweight (20g)
  • Battery life from 1 week to 45 days
  • Modular mounting allows it to be attached to clothing or shoes and not slip off
  • Fully waterproof for 30 minutes to a depth of 5 feet.
  • GPS measurement
  • Equipped with tamper-resistant security chip

I feel that the only way to raise the level of GPS is to work harder at the chip level. It's not beyond the hardware to be picked up by an app. I'd be interested to hear what the experts have to say about this.

It is currently available for preorder for US$99!
